The question was asked: >Do any ferrets ever recover after having these screaming seizures? Can >they be stabilized and go on to live semi-normal lives? Are seizures a >progression of insulinoma? >Certainly they give other signs first such >as drooling, staring, acting spacey.> While I haven't had a ferret that seizured from low blood glucose, I have lost two following vocal seizures over the years. According to my vet, one was attributed to heart, the other to liver failure. I lost a third to a diabetic related seizure, but he was silent, just twitching. All are horrible ways to see your ferret in it's final moments. I just wanted everyone to be aware that insulinoma isn't the only disease that can cause seizures. It is also my understanding that anytime there is a low bg seizure, there can be brain damage. To what extent, I do not know.
